Overview

The amount of data generated worldwide is increasing each year – captured through our smartphones, subscriptions, social networks, loyalty cards and more. This has created the need for specialists in applied analytics.

The Master of Applied Analytics is designed to meet this growing demand for information analysis across various sectors and to fill the gaps for skilled professionals with the ability to analyse data.

This course will equip you to develop future-focused workplace solutions through a data-driven approach, leading to better business decisions and forecasts. By specialising in the use of analytics to complement the core skills in your discipline, you will gain the ability to apply analytic solutions to real-world operational and strategic issues.

For people who require a more flexible approach, students can also choose subjects across all streams rather than specialise.

Students of this course also have nested options of a Graduate Certificate in Applied Analytics or a Professional Certificate in Applied Analytics. This means you have a choice of entry and exit pathways to the Master of Applied Analytics.
